2013 Northeast Pipe Smoking Contest and Holiday Party
This is a bit late but better late than never. If you are anywhere close you should make every effort to join us, this is quickly becoming a mini pipe show that is not so mini any longer!
Below is Bill's email announcement and the reg form below that.
From Bill Feuerbach...
Gentleman,
It is that time of year again. Its amazing how fast time flies the
older we get. I have been getting numerous phone
calls and emails concerning this years event so I figured I better get
this email out.
In keeping with our tradition, we will once again hold the event on the
second Saturday of December. This year that makes the date December
14th, the latest its ever been. Hopefully that won't interfere with
too many pre-holiday plans you may have. For those who maybe haven't
been here before, this event is part Holiday Party, part Pipe Show and
part Smoking Contest, the largest smoking contest in the US outside of
the National event in Chicago. For many its the highlight of the pipe
smoking year. I tend to agree. Attached you will find the flyer and
the registration form. We did have a slight bump in costs but still
worth the amount.
I expect we'll have most of the same exhibitors as last year. Last
year we had Steve Monjure, Paul Bonacquisti, Kaywoodie, Andy Camire,
Rolando Negoita, Joe Skoda, Tim Hynick, Dr. Bob Keiss and Neil of
Smokin Holsters. I'll update the list in pre-event emails if any of
these guys can't make it or if we have any new exhibitors. If anybody
is reserving a table to exhibit or sell from please email me back how
many you'd like. My cost on the tables is $10 for an 8 footer so
that's all I'll ask from you. You can add that amount to your
registration form and put a note on the form that you wanted a table.
Anybody sharing a table let me know who you're sharing with and only
one of
you send the table fee.
So get the registration form back as soon as possible so we can get a
head count for food and pipes. And please feel free to share this
email and flyer with any new members of your pipe clubs. Lou and Sean
you can post on any of the boards as our expanded layout allows for
more people but of course we'll be limited to 48 for the contest as
that's about all we'll have room for in the front office area.
Best regards
